Los Angeles wildfires force thousands from their homes
The latest is that there are now three major fires that seem to be burning out of control. And the problem for the firefighters is that overnight they haven't had the assistance of the fixed-wing aircraft and the helicopters that can douse the flames with fire retardants and water. That hasn't been possible in large part because of its night time and the winds.

And also, actually, President Biden has been in town and there have been flight restrictions over Los Angeles because of that visit. It always happens on a president visit. But there have been multiple problems hindering firefighters during the night, making any sort of progress really difficult. Just firefighters, more than a thousand firefighters on the ground trying to battle these flames.

Things hopefully will improve soon. If the winds die down, they might die down a little bit in a couple of hours, and we'll see the situation when the sun rises. But really, at the moment, it's a very scary scenario with 30,000 people evacuated from their homes. Hundreds of buildings have been destroyed, businesses, homes, medical facilities, at least one school that I'm

Global News Podcast
Los Angeles wildfires force thousands from their homes
Well, this is really the worst scenario that I can remember because of the scale. Yes, I've been through fires. The position I'm standing in right now in 2019 burned completely. And there were three homes right behind me that were completely destroyed. That was a terrifying situation. But what we have now are these three big fires that are 30 to 50 miles apart.
Global News Podcast
Los Angeles wildfires force thousands from their homes
And that gives you the scale of the situation that we're dealing with. And in between those big fires, there are some smaller fires that are burning as well. And it really is because of this perfect storm scenario of extremely dry brush, very strong winds and very difficult situation for the firefighters. So it's about as bad as it could be. If you live in Los Angeles, you're not surprised.

And we heard the governor, Gavin Newsom, saying a few hours ago that he now considers wildfires to be a year-round threat. Really, I think we've known that for the last few years, that these fires can happen at any time. Right now, January to March should be the wet season. It should be the rainy season. It isn't. It's very dry.

BBC team reaches Khartoum and finds overwhelming destruction
The crack of the bat is as timeless a part of baseball as the roar of the crowd and the smell of hot dogs in the bleachers. The shape of the traditional bat seemed, at least, to be optimal for making solid contact with the ball, the type of whack that launches home runs and makes that satisfying snapping sound.
Global News Podcast
BBC team reaches Khartoum and finds overwhelming destruction
But to start the 2025 season, five members of the New York Yankees have been swinging a very different piece of lumber, developed by a physics professor turned professional baseball coach. The new torpedo bat is shaped like a bowling pin. Instead of starting narrow at the grip and widening into a straight cylinder like a standard bat, it bulges at the sweet spot.
Global News Podcast
BBC team reaches Khartoum and finds overwhelming destruction
That's the ideal point on the bat for making contact with the ball. And then it tapers to a narrower top. It seems to work. Those five Yankees have hit a combined nine home runs in their first three games of the year. Staggering numbers. So what's the science behind this potentially potent new piece of equipment?
Global News Podcast
BBC team reaches Khartoum and finds overwhelming destruction
DJ Pisano is a professor of astronomy and physics at the University of Cape Town, who's written about the mechanics of baseball. He says the key to hitting home runs, on paper at least, is to strike a fine balance between the mass of your bat and the speed of your swing.
Global News Podcast
BBC team reaches Khartoum and finds overwhelming destruction
With that bulge near the middle and the narrow top, the torpedo bat maximizes mass where it hits the ball without adding unnecessary weight that could slow down a swing. And it moves the center of mass, where the bat would naturally balance, closer to the contact point, improving the transfer of momentum from bat to ball. Of course, this all comes with a caveat.

So the bat doesn't work miracles. But baseball players around the world will be watching the Yankees' home run totals closely this season and maybe picking up torpedo bats of their own. Peter Goffin reporting.

Trump threatens Russia with sanctions
This is an extraordinary fire because it is, as you say, moving extremely quickly, much faster than some of the fires that we saw over the last couple of weeks. And that is in large part because of the terrain. Of course, it's extremely dry still. We haven't had any rain. Here for months, the winds are strong.

So it's this familiar pattern of this perfect storm of conditions, the fast moving winds, the extremely dry brush on the hillsides to the north of Los Angeles. It's called the Hughes Fire, a place called Hughes. Castaic Lake is very nearby, about 60 kilometers from the center of Los Angeles. So a significant distance from Los

Global News Podcast

They're not almost hurricane force as we had over the last few weeks, but they're still strong enough to cause extremely rapid spread of this fire, some 20 square kilometres in about two hours, which is extremely fast moving.
Global News Podcast
Trump threatens Russia with sanctions
Well, it's a different situation. There's still a big question mark over the water issues and why there were issues in the first place with the fire hydrants running out of water, a dry reservoir close to one of the big fires in Pacific Palisades that is now thankfully open. almost fully contained. And I think the investigation into why there were fire issues will go on for some time.

In terms of this latest fire, again, looking positively at it, there are three large-ish lakes very close by, and this is where the The helicopters are scooping up water from those lakes to douse these flames. But it really is a battle. I was watching from my home as the smoke was rising above the hills and it was dark smoke. And that's always bad news.
Global News Podcast

If it's lighter coloured smoke, if it's white smoke, that suggests that they're getting a control of the situation. Really, it's still 100% uncontained. So a lot of work still to do. And very residential areas pretty close by. There's a major freeway, the 5 Freeway, that really cuts through California. Part of that freeway has been closed down.
Global News Podcast

Yes, and that's a good point, that the winds aren't so strong that it precludes those aircraft from getting into the air. I think if they get faster than something like 100 kilometres per hour, that really is the dangerous sort of territory. But the winds aren't as intense at the moment, and the forecast isn't for them to be as intense over the next 36 hours or so.

President Trump announces sweeping tariffs on US imports
There's a lot of history here, I think, as far as the president is concerned. It's something that he has, even before he became a politician, it's something that he's been talking about and has felt very strongly about the way in which America trades with the rest of the world. And I think what was interesting to some extent was...

And we've seen this over the last couple of days, that maybe his stance has mellowed a little bit. He was talking about reciprocal tariffs on countries around the world, saying that essentially if they do it, we'll do it back to them. He said that makes it quite simple.

President Trump announces sweeping tariffs on US imports
But he also made this point that some of those reciprocal tariffs, at least from the American side, will be lower than those being imposed on the US. And... I think he is aware that there will be retaliation, that this isn't the end of the matter. This, in some respects, is the beginning of the matter for the rest of the world.

The measles virus is a good exploiter of children who are not vaccinated. It's one of the most contagious viruses we know about. It has a reproductive number of 12 to 18.

Back in the 1980s, measles was the single leading killer of children globally. Two to three million children lost their lives because of measles.
